The Cubs have won two straight from the Brewers after giving away a 6-0 lead on Monday and now have a chance to put an exclamation point on the series. With full understanding that recency bias colors opinions, we may have just seen the worst loss and best win of the season so far. Then there was the wild finish on Tuesday that was among the most exciting anyone has seen in a while. As fun as the last two games have been in the end, it’d be nice to get an easy win.
Marcus Stroman is the right man for the job, though he’s lost his last two starts and has allowed 11 runs (eight earned) over nine innings in that short span.
